  • Publication number: 20150120562
    Abstract: Secure payment methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed herein. A payment server receives a payment request submitted by a transaction client terminal, the payment request containing transaction ordering information and facial image information of a payer. The payment server obtains user identification information of the payer according to a recognition of the facial image information of the payer. The payment server obtains location information of the payer according to the user identification information of the payer. The payment server determines whether the payer is located within a transaction region of the transaction client terminal. The payment server processes a payment transaction, when the payer is determined to be located within the transaction region. The disclosed method solves problems including that the personal identity code is hard to be memorized and/or vulnerable to be stolen. Payment safety and transaction efficiency are therefore significantly improved.
